Water Pump Leak
Un plug machine. Turn off hot & cold water. Remove the front panel by removing the 2 screws at the botton & lift front from the bottom until it unhinges from the top. Tilt the washer back far enough to put a contaner to catch the water left in the hoses. Loosing the hose clamps so the water comes out slowly. If you remove the hose to fast your container won't catch the water. Do one hose at a time. Next disconnect the wiring harnes from the motor. Remove the 4 screws holding the pump/motor. Disconnect the belt from the washer. You will have to tilt the pump/motor to get slack in the belt. Remove the pump/motor & the belt will come with it. This is when I found that the belt was toast & I had to order a belt. Paid shipping twice. once for pump & once for belt. Seperate pump from motor by removing 3 screws. My pump came right off. Reverse the operation to install. REMEMBER TO PUT THE BELT ON BEFORE THE PUMP.
Timer knob spun freely, could not advance settings
Washer is old, but in very good condition. PartSelect was the only company I could find that had a replacement part. That included checking with Amana delears and other repair companies. The sequence of repair in 11 steps: 1. Unplug the washer. 2. Remove 6 philips screws (3 top,3 bottom) from the front of washer control panel to release the control panel. 3.Remove ground wire clipped to the timer. 4.Remove the knob. Could not unscrew,so I placed the tip of screwdriver against the end of the shaft on the backside of the bad timer and tapped to remove the shaft. 5. Use a 1/4" nutdriver to remove 2 screws securing the old timer. 6. Squeeze end tabs and remove control wiring plug. 7. Reverse steps 7 to 4. 8. Unscrew old shaft from the knob 9. Replace timer face plate (keyed to match new timer shaft only goes on one way). 10. Screw knob onto new timer. 11. Reverse steps 2 and 1. Note: It took me twice as long as it should of, I had the assistance of my 2 year old granddaughter Malae.
had to completely disasemble whole washer drum and mechanical components to remove upper bearing on transmission,the drum hub was corroded on the shaft. I had to use a gear puller and a propane torch to get the hub off upper shaft of the transmission. then press the bearings in the respective sheet metal supports. reassembly was alot easier than taking it apart. Not a job for an average homeowner. It would not have been repaired without the wheel puller. all the seals were reusable A week and a half of use later no leaks and works great
Removed the cover on the washer controls. Loosed the knob and popped it off. Then disconnected the plug and replaced with the new part. Put th ekonb back on and closed it all up. It was pretty easy. Took longer to reomove all the screws than it did to remove and replace the part.

We promptly received the part and easily installed it with no tools. We had an excellent experience. We found the old fabric softener dispenser after installing the new one. Now, we have two.
Found out that these switches go from time to time and are usually the culprit when the washer won't operate. Opened the cabinet facing. Warning: there are plenty of YouTube videos on opening Maytag washers. None helped me with this model. I ended up finding the screws to open near the floor on front. Once it's opened, just replace the faulty switch, reconnect and you're in business. Getting the washer opened was about the hardest part of this repair. Total cost: Less than $30.
Knob was sheared off and the timer jammed intermittently
I removed the screws that held the timer/control cover in place. Removed the two screws that held the timer and unplugged the wires. I discovered that the old knob had jammed the timer shaft, so I probably didn't need a new timer. However, I had one ;-) so I installed it along with the new knob.
Disassembled washer as per directions with seal kit. Removed inner tub. Cut both tub shaft bearing in half; punched out from outter tub. Installed new bearings using .5 inch threaded rod, washer and bolts. Installed new seal on inner tub shaft. Installed inner tube. Re-assembled washer.
piece of agitator broke off - unbalanced loads of laundry
We did not have instructions on how to remove broken agitator. Looking online, we found easy instructions but found it difficult to remove the agitator even though it was supposed to be an easy task. Our particular model was supposed to "pop" off with little resistance. Not so! It took some stong muscle and will power to remove the part but putting the new agitator on was simple.
Purchased x4 new adjustable legs. Leaned the washer back and held in place with block of wood. Loosened the two older front legs with an adjustable wrench because they had a locking nut and replaced with new legs. Repeated process on back side of washer. Once all the new legs were installed leveled the machine adjusting the legs if necessary.
